Here we are again to say hello. We've both had busy times with lots to do. Look out for upcoming Country Threads magazines as both Cath and myself have projects and I also have another profile in the March issue (I think! :) !) and I, for one, am looking forward to some cooler days of Autumn. Those of you in the Northern Hemisphere will be looking at Spring very soon and the tulips and daffodils will be popping their heads through the ground shortly I'm sure.
Cath has some very cute dolls in her showcase this month.....here they are.

Jan's showcase this month is a little variety of things. Two of the latest "banners" featuring handbags and shoes.
M'ladys Fancy
Five sweet "little quilts" joined together with buttons to form a swag. Each little purse is hand appliqued in place and then embroidered on for decoration. I also added little jewels for a bit of bling. Tassels also adorn two of the bags with an unusual "sewn" tassel on a third. Easy embroidery.
Pattern is $12.00AUD (+P&H)
ePattern is $7.00AUD
M'ladys Fancy II
The perfect companion for M'ladys Fancy. Three delightful shoes that are "blinged" with some "jewels" and a touch of embroidery.
Pattern is $12.00AUD (+P&H)
ePattern is $7.00AUD
Applique Pocket Bag
A great bag for yourself or a sewing friend. Useful for taking to your group sewing day OR ideal for a new baby gift if you change the applique on the pockets or simply use an interesting fabric for the pocket. A friend in the UK has made many of these for the new baby arrival and added bits and bobs in each pocket for the baby.
Pattern is $12.00AUD (+P&H)
ePattern is $10.00AUD
My special for this month is one of my early banner patterns but still very popular.
Country Farmyard
Easy applique and the use of plaids makes this a lovely decoration to your country home.
ePattern is $5.00AUD
That's it for this month! Remember you can order patterns (payment via PayPal) or if we can help in any way by emailing us - Cath on cathron01@bigpond.com and Jan on ozjan51@hotmail.com
Until next time - Happy Stitching
